The full Moon celebrates the Winter Solstice on Saturday, December 22. Both Luminaries, Sun and Moon are at 0 degree of Capricorn and Cancer, constellations which mark the entry into winter and summer. This is a moment when we can hear the Music of the Spheres. It is a moment of absolute stillness, a chance to begin anew in a place of cosmic attunement!

The approach to the dark winter solstice always feels dangerous and death ridden. But there is an opportunity for healing at this moment. The position of Mars and Chiron as they relate to the Sun and Moon speaks of healing, finding a doctor within. What can be done to lighten the mood? Mars says: party like crazy, go to concerts, sing and feast! Chiron recommends embracing all the colors of your crystal, knowing how important is your ray of light in this spectrum. Leave nothing of yourself behind in the cold.

There’s a strong suggestion of surprise in this chart as Uranus, the Wild One shakes Sun and Moon with fiery energy. The Sabian Symbol for the position of Uranus is Attunement to cosmic order. ‘Listen to Your Inner Voice!’ he says from his perch in Aries. Look into the crystal, a reminder of all the frequencies of colors which must go into a ray of pure white light. To hear the Inner Voice, we have to trust our own light, our own music!

Venus and Neptune are in a harmonious trine of Water signs. They play the background music for this Sun Moon dance. What will the entry of the Moon into Cancer (more Water), mean for the planets of love? Perhaps Venus and Neptune will tune us to the cosmic order. Cosmic music, like the light of the crystal, requires each vibration of sound.

A musical theme seems right for a full Moon at the season when we sing or hear music the most. The Sabian Symbol for Uranus continues with the theme of ‘cosmic attunement.’ ‘If you are ready to enter into new possibilities of action, you must also learn the harmonic principles in operation! The Music of the Spheres.’ All we are asked to do is to stop a moment to feel the Sun’s journey and the full Moon’s sweet voice!

The celebration of the journey of the Sun and Moon, gives depth and comfort to every person, no matter who they are, where they live. Each voice in praise of the Earth and Sky are more powerful than all the forces of destruction and despair! The bird of this season is the Wren, smallest of all, with the sweetest note! The old song says: ‘Who sees the Wren sees God.’ Our song is never too small to move hearts and to brighten the dark season.
